Catching Falling Stars In the Rain

Falling stars are always there,
we just don't always see them
and there I was, 
surmising for that shower

only a different kind of 
falling happened...

          Where 
        shooting stars 
               should be,
             only raindrops 
                   kept
                     fall
                       i
                        ng


I held my palms up,
and closed my eyes,
in hopes of cradling a wish,
but only felt my cheeks getting wet

...    not 
from the skies,
   but
from my eyes

I don't know why,
simply 
don't know why anymore

I still try to 
catch falling stars 
in the rain,
hoping, 
wishing, that it's true.


That they're always there.

Please stars, 
catch me,
I'm falling,
